Tax compliance

For companies doing business across borders, Tax is fast becoming one of the single largest compliance burdens and expense items. Hard-pressed governments across the world see raising tax rates, or increased audits and administrative requirements to trigger fines and interest penalties, as a key component of supporting their revenue bases. Add the lack of harmonisation between the jurisdictions, and the burden can quickly seem overwhelming.

TMF Group is here to help. Our specialist tax professionals around the world are experts at managing both direct (Corporate Income Taxes) and indirect tax (VAT, GST, Sales Taxes, IPT etc.) compliance. We also increasingly help international companies manage their Withholding Tax obligations. Every year, we complete over 200,000 tax filings across most jurisdictions, ensuring the reporting is complete, all deadlines are met and that clients have full control and transparency of the whole process. We can also manage local payments directly through our secure, client accounts. This includes a single, expert point-of-contact for all reporting, co-ordinating all declarations so you can stay focused on your own business.

VAT Services

TMF Group is the largest independent provider of VAT compliance/recovery services. Operating out of our 100+ offices worldwide, we can help keep you compliant with the numerous local requirements. Find out more about how we can help your business meet its VAT compliance obligations globally by visiting TMF Group’s dedicated VAT service page.

When it comes to VAT across the European Union (EU) and beyond, the reporting requirements can keep you from focusing on your core business.

Each country has its own specific rules for companies looking to register for a local VAT number, which are often difficult to deal with due to language and administrative barriers.

Once registered, companies are required to submit periodic VAT returns and make regular VAT payments. Each country has highly detailed requirements, enforced with tough penalties and interest charges for infringement. These requirements are also subject to constant changes, potentially making them difficult for businesses to follow.

Finally, some businesses operating across borders may incur foreign VAT that they cannot reclaim through their domestic VAT returns.

IPT Services

Find out more about how TMF Group can help with meeting IPT compliance obligations and calculating taxes quickly and accurately across Europe and beyond by visiting our dedicated IPT services page.

When it comes to IPT across the EU and beyond, the reporting obligations can be a burden. Insurance companies and captives providing multi-jurisdictional risk cover often face the requirement to register for, collect and pay European or international IPT in each tax jurisdiction in which they are operating.

We are the largest independent provider of IPT compliance services and can help keep you compliant with all the numerous local requirements.
